Did you believe that struggling with your mental health made you a burden? That going through tough times meant you needed to isolate rather than lean on others? That voice in your head telling you to stop being so dramatic, or to stop feeling the way you do?

There’s so much stigma around feeling down, feeling depressed, having mental health issues, and a lot of that leads you to believe you are a burden - especially to others

I spent so much of my time struggling with mental health believing that, when that was so not the truth. It turns out the whole time you’re fighting yourself to just “be better” or to “stop feeling that”, that’s when you really needed compassion, from yourself and others
